Get a Glock 19 and a SW Model 66 - put quality rounds in each.

Yes, you have more capacity with the 19 - about the average 2 shots. Sure, the odds are in your favor but WE'VE discussed endless that you may want to decide not on the average (take STATS) but a reasonable cutoff for the very rare but extreme incident.

The 19 does that. They work. Avoid crap like Taurus, or some weird Chiappa.

If not a standard 38/357 is fine. However, when one asks the question it implies that training hasn't been a priority as those issues are well covered.
